Sometimes I feel like doing smaller budget stuff. When I did 'Young Adam', for instance, I'd come out of 'Black Hawk Down' and 'The Island', and I really wanted to be on a small film set. I wanted to be on something intimate and small again, and then 'Young Adam' cropped up in a pile of scripts I was sent.
I've been working since I was 9, and I've never known a life without a film set.
Frankly, I am boring. My life is all about the film set, gym classes, and home.
The pace is different on a film set. It's slightly slower, allowing for a little more wiggle room. Sometimes there is a bit more room to explore and work on the floor. On a TV set, you really have to be ultra-prepared and ready to deliver because time is so tight. Not that you don't have to be prepared for film.
A film set is a workplace for me; it's my office, and nobody really wants to be in a stressful work environment.
A film set is the most comfortable place I could be in the world; that's what I know.
